Search youtube, "Multifamily owner and baby boomer sells 18 units and uses a deferred sales trust instead of 1031" to here more details.

Ask them questions to make sure they're not just a friend, like the address or other details the landlord would only know.

There are a lot of options with a 6 unit building, and I agree without more details that it will be hard to offer any specific advice. 

@Steve K. thanks for this detailed rundown.

Whether it's completing paperwork or obtaining third-party accredited verifications, attention to detail is paramount.Never assume that raising equity will be easy.

I have a potential private lender, but I need to determine if this is a viable investment opportunity and explore the best financing options You posted this same thing three times - in two it was a 36 unit and in the third a 32 unit.Do you have any other details about the transaction or perhaps wish to share your initial analysis so the volunteers here can poke holes in it or tell you why you're right?

Someone here mentioned that i shared irrelevant details about this tenant, but i have a laundry list of issues with her.

My advice is to get proposals from several GC’s, compare their pricing, compare the detail of the proposals (make sure everyone is bidding the same scope of work) and ask around about how they have performed on other projects in the area.

Let me know what thoughts/reactions you have here, and I will incorporate into my more detailed blog publication coming in a few weeks.

High-quality photos and detailed property descriptions are key.
